AV
CURRENCY REQUIREMENTS
If you haven’t
performed and reported a minimum of any two of
the Navigation System activities listed below during 2010,
you will be placed in a REYR condition in 2011. Remember
that your reports must be made on-line both to the Coast
Guard and to AUXDATA. This restriction will be removed when
you make up the two reports in 2011. Failure to complete
these make up reports by July 15, 2011 will cause the loss
of your access codes to the PATON Reporting System. You will
have to re-register and make an additional two reports (a
total of four) during 2011 to regain your currency as an AV
in 2012. Non-activity for 5 years causes loss of your AV
Qualification. The acceptable AV reports can be any two of
the following NS activities:
ATON Verification Report
Reported by AVs using the online Web-Based
PATON Reporting System and with associated PATON
activity being reported to AUXDATA as a Mission 31. Your
PATON Verification Report can report a PATON as either
watching properly or as a discrepancy.
Bridge Survey Report
Reported by AVs using the on-line Bridge Reporting
Database System with associated bridge activity
being reported to AUXDATA as a Mission 32. Note that access
to AUXDATA is now available on the Bridge System. Your
Bridge Survey can report a bridge as either watching
properly or as a discrepancy.
ATON (Federal Aid) Discrepancy
Report prepared
manually and forwarded to the local CG ANT via your local
Auxiliary Liaison. Note that reports for ATONs
(Federal Aids) observed as watching properly should never be
reported to the Coast Guard, and no credit should be taken
in AUXDATA for these checks. All ATONs reported as
watching properly will be ignored for REYR, District Awards,
and any Coast Guard awards. ATONS reported as watching
properly only causes extra work for the Coast Guard. The
only exception is when the Coast Guard specifically directs
you to check a Federal Aid.
AVs who have been working directly
in support of CG ANTs in 2010 who have no reported activity
will not be placed in REYR. However, all AVs are
always encouraged to record any PATON and Bridge Activity on
the standard on-line reporting systems. |
